Outspoken Workshops, Inga Simpson, Writing Nature
Location
About
This full-day nature writing workshop is ideal for fiction and non-fiction writers at all levels with a passion for the natural world. You’ll focus on techniques for bringing landscapes, flora and fauna to life for your audience, including: evocative description, effective use of emotion, and the importance of story. You’ll also consider anthropomorphism, writing from an ecological perspective, and the challenges faced when writing with an environmental message.
Inga will use a combination of instruction, inspiring examples of nature writing and practical writing exercises, with plenty of opportunity for group discussion. You’ll come away with a stronger understanding of nature writing – past and contemporary, Australian and international – and a practical toolkit for sharing your love of nature on the page.
